Balancing academics and training have always been the greatest challenge faced by student-athletes. Two first-year students in the Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Physical Education and Recreation Management, Lo Wai Fung (Taekwondo) and Chan Wing Yu, Katie (Windsurfing), who were admitted to HKBU through the Talented Athletes Direct Admission Scheme (TADAS), are now embracing this challenge. As university students and elite athletes, their first hurdle is managing the intensive training and course schedules.

HKBU’s TADAS provides comprehensive support for athletes, catering not only to their learning needs but also to their competition requirements. The flexible learning arrangements allow athletes to continue their studies while continuing to participate in various international competitions, providing robust support for their sporting careers. In the interview, the two new BUers shared their reasons for choosing TADAS and how they achieve dual development in academics and sports。
